Hotel Castilla Alicante

The Hotel Castilla in Alicante was a great first stop in Spain. The staff was friendly, helpful and always polite. We were able to walk down to the beach in just 1 -2 minutes and relax and recover from our jet lag. The beach is beautiful and the water nice and warm. We were also able to enjoy a nice swim in the hotel pool after the beach. The food in the bar/ cafeteria was great and the buffet breakfast offered many choices of great food. Right outside the hotel you can catch the bus to the main city(for shopping) or to the tram which can take you to outer parts of Alicante(Denia, Calp, etc). In addition, the streets on or near the hotel had many shops, eating places, a small fruit market, and bars to listen to music at night. We ended staying four nights instead of three. We would like to return to Alicante and stay at the Hotel Castilla Alicante next year.
